CESPAIRING TOM.
Story of Faithful Cat That Died or q
Broken Heart.

| Broken kfeart.
A lady visiting a bird-fancier's shop
was struck by the beauty and size of an
Angora cat exhibited for sale, impris-
oned in large parrots cage. The
captive cffectually pleading for pity by
licking her hand, was purchased and
taken home. After some years. the cat
| was removed with his mistress to
Brighton, though under protest as to
future reformation. Tom was then
probably one of the largest of
his species. and universally adj
mired. He had adopted an apparently
incurable habit of sharpening his
claws on a highly polished dining-room
table; and also committed sad havoc
amongst the flowers in the garden of
his new abode, spending great por-
ton of leisure time luxuriously lying in
the sunshine, amidst mignonette, etc. A
decree of Punishment was at length un-
willingly issued, and poor innocently
erring Tom forthwith departed to a
country rectory, where he was much
valued. Every kindness that could con-
duce to his comfort was shown, all his
special tastes as to diet consulted but
the exile remained inconsolable. He
never attempted to return, not seeming
to have sufficient energy left to attempt
aught in self-defense; he simply gave
himself up to despair. 1t was vainly
hoped that time would reconcile the
mourner to his changed lot, but matters
only grew worse, the cat pining and
fretting till he became the shadow of
his former self He could not Irvine
'fantastick garlands,' Ct utter an alto
gether .'melodious lay" like 1.-The fair
Ophelia," but wandered aimlessly about
the garden, eating little except green
fruit and such strange fare; dying, after
u brief period, literally of broken
heart. The chief object of this devoted
love was the cook he had left behind
him. The attachment, unlike that of
Shakespeare's ill-starred heroine, may
not have been romantic one; still. it
was purely disinterested, unwavering
amidst all mere worldly temptations.
Nature is fine in love; and where tits fine,
It sends some precious incense of itself
After the thing it loves.
Poor faithful Tom gave the sole offer
ing he had to give-his life. If it be
true that ''Man's love is of mans life q
thing apart" it was in the above case
proved to be cats '.whole existence.

ing hogs. Now, it is utterly idle to er~
pect swine to do we'll under such treat
ment There can be no aim in such
feeding. unless the object is to kill the
hog, and, of course, that purpose is not
entertained. Until grass comes the
growing hogs should be fed carefully
upon only that which will Hta:.e them
grow. They do not need fat; they need
size large bone and more fully de-
veloped muscle. They may be fed any
thing that is upon the farm except corn,
but only a very small quantity of that.

on its parlor, dining and sleeping-cars,
and it proposes to enforce the new de-
parture by the immediate discharge of
employees who are found to have ac-
cepted tips from passengers. The rule
is absolute, with the exception Of the
backing Of shoes, which porters are
allowed to do only when requested,
and the fee for which is fixed at ten
cents. simultaneously with the order,
the pay Of the employees affected has
been increased, making it about three
times the amount received ordinarily
by sleeping-car porters.-C Chicago Jour-

Multiplying the number of tons per
acre by the percentage of dry organic
matter, respectively, we find the 90
tons Of sugar beets give us Al tons e
nuSritive matter, ana the 26 tons of
mangel wurzel give us 2.42 tons of
OF nutritive matter. In other words,
the 20 tons of beets are little more
than equivalent in nutritive value to
the rs tons Of mangels.-H Il. Weber,

BEETS AND MANGELS.
The Nutritive Matter Furnished by the Two
Kinds of Roots.

The Nutritive Matter Furnished by the 7 VIC
Kinds of Roots.
The beet crop on the Ohio State Uni
versity farm last year was excellent.
Two varieties were planted for the sake
Of comparison, the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station aiding in the work;
1.22 acres were planted with Imperial
sugar beet. The total yield was 24.6
tons. The yield per acre was, there
fore, 20 tons; 1.04 acres were planted
with large red mangel-wurzel. The
total yield was p tons. The yield per
acre was 26 tons.
From this statement it follows that
the gel-wurzel, which was planted
at the same time received the same
cultivation and attention, yielded six
tons, by weight, more than the latter.
Evidently, however. the comparative
value of these two crops can not be
settled by weight alone. The true
criterion is the relative amount of nu-
tritive matter furnished in the given
weights per acre of the two kinds of
roots. This question could only be de-
termined by chemical examination.
Accordingly about u dozen specimens
of each were selected for this purpose,
and subjected to an analysis. The
chemical composition of these two kinds
of roots was found to be as follows, in
100 parts:
